[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
No one can provide aid to Gaza unless Israel allow it. They will not. USA has vetoed all attempts to force a ceasefire through the UN, against the desires of almost every other country on the planet. The fingers are pointing for good reason. There is no indication Americans will learn anything. Except maybe how to live your best life under fascism. It must be frustrating. Australia is doing better, but not much. Our spineless leader still labels Israel as “a friend”.
Has anyone tried? A big convoy full of supplies and white flags? Just enter through Rafah and bypass Israel. Heck the beach is pretty big.
But it’s gonna be hard to find a country who likes Muslims enough.
Do you think that hasn’t been tried yet?
Israel has shot, bombed, and attacked those flying white flags (including their own citizens), the red cross, medics, hospitals, those with press badges and identification, the un, and most recently an aid ship in the Mediterranean.
They got what they wanted. They derailed the thread and made it about themselves, rather than the actual victims of genocide the post referenced.
I’m still waiting for/half expecting them to soon say Israel is doing nothing wrong its everyone else’s fault
You should try reading up on the aid efforts that have been made.
